HOW BOOMS ARE MADE.
How Every Town Can and Should Be
Helped ,by All lis Capitalists
and Business Men.
Leading on In Building Blocks, Establish
Ing Factories, Investing In Real Estate
and Fighting for the Town.

The Des Monies Iows) Register has a
long article en- how booms are made, in
which it describes the booms in other
cities and gives some valuable hints to
the people of it's own home that make in
teresting reading for all who live in towns
that possess or hope for "a BOOM" THE
GAZETTE copies from the Register:
HOW CITIES MAKE BLOOMS.
The people have adopted the word boom
as meaning unusual progress in the bust
ness of country or city. 1t has come
to be a very popular term. Latterly II
has been misused and taken charge of so
completely by mere gamblers and adVen-
turers that it has lost much of its former
meaning. Still 1t stands for rapid growth
in city. Minneapolis and st. Paul have
a boom as the phrase goes, SO have
Omaha, Kansas City and Wichita, and
latterly we hear that Duluth is having an
other boom.

The most surprising boom just now is
| that Of Wichita, young city in Southern
! Kansas, whose real estate transfers and
| speCulstiOns are now almost equal to
those of Kansas City. 1t seems to be 8
genuine boom, for the transfers represent
actual purchases, and the leading
bank has deposits made in one
day frequently as high as a
million of dollars. Well posted people
look on the map, and knowing now trade
and business are established, see in
Wichita marvel, and ask how
can it be that city at one
side of the main ways of commerce, 8
county seat with no great influences to
back it, ana in land not nearly as rich
as that farther north, can have such eX-
traOrdiDary prosperity. 1t is said that
the city there started on it's remarkable
career by lot of men possessed of some
means organizing together with the one
determination Of building up the town.

manufacturing and general business;
we will have to depend mainly on manu-
featuring, and in order to introduce man

Kansas City had very lingering start
and no very brilliant prospects for great
many vears. Finally it received the i'm
petus and magical help of railway man
ayers. They were given interests in land
companies in the Town, and were made to
see that they could serve themselves and
al the same time their roads by building
up great city there. The climax OF this
plan was reached when Charles Francis
Adams, representing the Union Pacific
iIwar, walked into town with drafts
for 81 600 600 il his pocket, and said
be had come to invest it in Kansas
CCy real estate; that Boston capital,
the most cautious in the country, could
see q chance fer growth and profit in
Kansas City which it could see no where
else, and that he had come 10 invest this
much money as start. his was the
culmination Of sRillful plan and il
worked like charm. Instantly the word
ran over the country that Boston was in
vesiing in Kansas City $1,000 900 at 8
time, and Boston capital is always
cautious and knows what it is about. Mr.
Adams really invested his 81, 10000 and
sitter it had given further impetus to the
town invested still more The plan worked
well, and Kansas City stands to-day, fol
all that it is, a creation Of railway mer
operating with eastern capital.

Kansas City people themselves faith
fully helped in 1t, and cultivated q spirit
f local pride which induced every man to
do eli that he could toward helping to
build up the town. All the money
they could make or borrow they
put into real estate and building. 1t is an
actual fact that not only did the leading
rail way men and capitalists ike Adams
| invest large sums there as we
! have stated, but the local railway
managers and officials formed an asso-
citation to operate in real estate and build
| ings, and all of them entered into putting
in their own money, investing in lands,
! selling them at profit, erecting fine
| buildings, making profit on them, and
| in every way uniting and consolidating
| their efforts and money to make the town
a great city. They had tens Of thousands
| of miles Of railway to be managed By
! themselves il the interest of Kansas City,
and this wss made to do a wonderful part
| in making the boom of that town.
| Different from many cities, the leading
| business men there did not milk the COW
at home and send al the cream abroad.
! But everyone worked hard, made and
saved all the money they could, and tn n
put it into real estate and the erection Of
| fine business blocks. Such en- intense
spirit of local pride was cultivated that
! large land owners being benefited by the
| enormous increase of values were not
4 able to stem the current of public
fOpiniOn and refrain from doing their
kown part They were carried along
bY lie resistIess tide and made energetic
! in spite of themselves. Ia the emulation
of local ambition each man not only
sought to profit himself, but in every way
to build up the city, and if he had the
money with which to erect fine building
which would be credit to the place and
a wonder to all visitors, he did not hest
tate to build 1t. Profits on business,
profits on real estate, profits on invest
ments, all went into Kansas City again
in the form of great new buildings and
other enterprises as helpful In building
up the town. & ~

LANCASTER, MAY 4. 1857.
A Vain Effort,

The Philadelphia Press has hard time
Of 1t in its undertaking to lead the Repub.
lican party, and about every day or two
finds itself bringing up the rear. The legis-
lature is an especial trial it, for it will not
20 straight as the Press generally wants to
70, because it is always its policy to satisfy
public sentiment. The members of the
legislature, however, care little for public
sentiment, which does not nominate them,
and yield their obedience to the bosses who
do. Mr.. Vanderbilt's sentiment is the one
that governs both bosses and creatures, and
the public is not feared by either.
The Press was warmly for the Billings
ley bill, along with the public a Repub-
licah Senate killed it; whereupon the Press
undertakes to say that it was not the Re-
publican party that did it, but a union Of
Republicans and Democrats. 1t well
knows, however, that it is not telling the
truth, and that it was the power of the Re-
publican party, welded by the bosses, that
killed the bill. The very fact that it passed
the Republican House without trouble
shows this. The screws were not put on
then. These engineers do not waste steam.
The Senate could kill as we'll as the House,
and was easier to manage with its smaller
vote. The bill admittedly was one which
but single interest in the state opposed
and it was destroyed to satisfy the Stand.

the alleged breach Of privilege. The motion
TO adjourn was finally carried by 2is to la.
1t looks now as though the Conservatives
Ind unwittingly put themselves in the
hands Of their enemies. The Irish will
force the issue upon the government TO
make it adopt the weak and indefensible
position Of the Times, or will make the
editor Of the Times avow his error and
apologize. The Irish party contains many
able and brilliant parliamentary skirmish-
ers, and they are constant thorn in the
Tory side,
